Shame on you for not guessing which 3-letter acronym was used! /s

So you're openly hating on people for being normal, without offering a single alternative of a video platform that's not all of those things that you labeled as evil.

There are alternatives, they've been posted many times over in this thread and similar ones.

The alternative to shopping isn't shoplifting. The usual things that people list are client side apps that circumvent intended operation of the platform, reaping as many benefits without paying the cost. But hosting isn't free. Running a business isn't free. And hating the people who literally subsidize your unauthorized use of the platform is hypocrisy.

It didn't take a lot for me. I clicked on the link, took a look at the first post and there you go! Advocating for terrorism and defending genocide, and every comment is full of hate, using mostly language that is particular to dark corners of the internet where incels and fascists thrive.

The comments weren't responses to comments they didn't agree with so it's not like they got provoked or anything. The hate is inherent. Imagine what it looks like when someone tries to contradict them.

For me, I'd like to be as far away from such resources as possible. They give too many negative vibes, and I'd rather spend my time and energy in places that have a possibility of a constructive discourse.

I had a cat which responded vocally with "mrrr" when hearing his name. Saying the name repeatedly had an 80% chance of summoning my cat, and a 20% chance that he would come running and jumping up into my hug. I loved that cat so much. Smart loving bastard who liked to also chew on my wife's foot on her way to the bathroom at night, and lovingly hump his towel when he was bored.

5 babies and parts of their bodies hidden by other babies are all accounted for.

I've enjoyed coffee that was roasted with cinnamon. I've mixed in cinnamon with ground coffee myself (in the upper part of the espresso puck only) for a similar effect. Tastes great. Would recommend.

I've had coffee with orange juice, which was weird but ok.

As long as you mix in good ingredients, you get something good, that individual taste would judge if it's likeable.

After all, what's so objectively likeable about bitter bean juice in the first place?

I have a work environment, which has a symlink to my private notes. Then I use it for some other stuff too with separate, tinier vaults, but I found that unless it's accessible in my primary vault, it will be ignored and forgotten.

But it does get annoying when is search I find both Linux notes, interview notes, and D&D notes.

Some stays in Turkey do very well. However I've seen plenty of cats in need of medical attention (swollen limbs, covered in their own feces, etc) and some people actually harassing them. Same in Greece according to my cousin who was doing some charity work on an island to improve cats conditions.

Stray population needs to be small enough for them to do well with the help they can get from people. The best thing that Turks do for cats, is too neuter them.

Not really. I adopted a stray kitten which cost 0$, a couple of vet visits set me back maybe 200$ for most of his life. Cat food isn't expensive, car toys, and the environment was easy to supply and make it interesting. Later in life he got a tumor, and regular vet visits did cost a couple of thousand bucks and he eventually had to be put to sleep. But that was the most amazing cat, who gave happiness and love to 4 people, and a kitty friend.

Wear whatever the hell you want, right? Screw genders and made up rules around them.

Read the article. Title is clickbait. It's only with approval from a judge. You know, alternatively they could just arrest and imprison the person, which is what every country is doing. Not saying it's without worrying, but there's important nuance that most are missing.

P.S.

Absolute extremist attitudes like "nobody should be able" and so on, have absolutely no place in modern society. There's always nuance. Libertarianism doesn't work, and laws must be enforced. It sucks, but when there are forces that want to hurt people and destabilize societies, you can't go by the rule that everyone is a saint. The world will punish this attitude.

Yes, the world isn't perfect, but for ducks sake, quit sensationalizing anecdotes and representing them as "this always happens". That's dishonest.

And that is actually illegal in the EU
